A child looks bewildered but is on the verge of understanding. A perfectly timed candid moment.

Hello ! Lovely baby ! I have a hard time here: I think the picture is lovely, but at the same time, babies always look candid. OK, I'm jealous, but then I was told off for taking my Candid: adults are more difficult. Because it's a lovely shot, I'll give you 7.

It's a baby. Well, if there is a more interesting expression, tehn it'll be a much better candid shot... He/she just seems so blank and out of it :-) There are not much tones or shadow, the photo itself is just bland. 5 paganini

I want to answer a few comments, but first, thanks to everyone, and I took nothing personally:

My daughter was not injured or choked during the making of this, nor was it "posed". This scarf is one my her favorite playthings. I first tried taking photo of her sitting in a chair with this, but it did not really work.

I put her on our bed, on a dark green blanket. And I asked for her help (sounds more like hop in her language). I laid her on the bed, and covered her in it, and just let her play. I had to do this several times, shooting hand held at 1/50th, and I got about 3 good shots out of 25 or so.

The other ones actually look a lot like chiffon dream. My wife and I thought this would have more universal appeal. BTW: it makes a nice 8x10.

I was really worried about this being trashed for being a baby picture, but it wasn't. Thanks.
